Alarm goes off.
Same ceiling.
Same question.
Different day.
You need a job, you need a car.
You need the car to get to work.
You need the work to pay the bills.
You pay the bills, you're back at first.
You need a loan to buy a house.
You need the house to raise a kid.
You need the house to pay the loan.
Now you barely see the kid. You buy a phone to stay connected, spend the evening looking down.
Got a thousand people watching, not a single one around.
You take a break, you book a flight, spend six months paying for the week.
Come back Monday, check your balance, tell yourself it's what you need.
Everybody's got a reason.
Everybody's got a plan.
Everybody says they're living.
Everybody's working late.
Same tomorrow, same tomorrow.
